they_o be_v all_o that_o be_v considerable_a obj._n 1_o sy_n first_o that_o this_o method_n of_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n seem_v to_o argue_v some_o defect_n and_o want_n of_o goodness_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o need_v some_o external_a motive_n and_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o dispose_v to_o forgive_v sinner_n to_o which_o i_o think_v the_o answer_n be_v not_o difficult_a namely_o that_o god_n do_v not_o want_v goodness_n to_o have_v forgive_v sin_n free_o and_o without_o any_o satisfaction_n but_o his_o wisdom_n do_v not_o think_v it_o meet_v to_o give_v encouragement_n to_o sin_n by_o too_o easy_a a_o forgiveness_n and_o without_o some_o remarkable_a testimony_n of_o his_o severe_a displeasure_n against_o it_o and_o therefore_o his_o great_a goodness_n and_o compassion_n to_o mankind_n devise_v this_o way_n to_o save_v the_o sinner_n without_o give_v the_o least_o countenance_n and_o encouragement_n to_o sin_n for_o god_n to_o think_v of_o save_v we_o any_o way_n be_v excessive_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n but_o to_o think_v of_o do_v it_o in_o this_o way_n by_o substitute_v his_o dear_o belove_a son_n to_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n be_v a_o condescension_n so_o very_a amaze_a that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v please_v of_o his_o own_o goodness_n to_o stoop_v to_o it_o it_o have_v almost_o be_v blasphemy_n in_o man_n to_o have_v think_v of_o it_o or_o desire_v it_o obj._n 2_o d._n second_o how_o can_v our_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v forgive_v free_o if_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o be_v purchase_v at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n and_o so_o mighty_a a_o price_n be_v pay_v for_o it_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o desire_v these_o two_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v 1_o sy_n that_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a

we_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o way_n it_o be_v a_o free_a act_n of_o his_o goodness_n to_o save_v we_o even_o by_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o own_o son_n 2_o lie_v it_o

lay_v upon_o he_o the_o punishment_n due_a for_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o god_n hate_v sin_n as_o much_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o he_o love_v his_o

of_o man_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n to_o consume_v the_o adversary_n for_o what_o
